The PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino He did not count on him and as soon as his environment transferred the txuri-urdin offer to him, he did not think twice. On the other hand, the president of the Royal Some Aperribay, in an interview with The Basque newspaper, thus analyzed the player: “He is a mature player, with experience in the League, who knows Real, who was very excited about coming and who can help us achieve our objectives.”
Therefore Rafinha returns to the Spanish League after he signed for PSG a year ago. Barça definitively sold the player who had been loaned out the previous years at RC Celta, in two stages, and Inter Milan.
The txuri-urdin team is sixth in the league table, in the European zone but on a bad streak after four defeats and a draw in the last five days. The Basque club opted for Rafinha as reinforcement for a midfield that has suffered in recent weeks with the casualties of Merino, David Silva and Oyarzabal.
